Viscount Younger of Leckie: The noble Lord makes a good point—the school system should talk to the higher education sector. The SEN code of practice makes it clear that children and young people with special educational needs should be helped to prepare for adult life. Schools should therefore support the young person in planning their next phase of education, including higher education. The local authority has a legal duty to make young people aware, through their SEN local offer, of the support available to them in higher education.

Viscount Younger of Leckie: The noble Lord is right in that we want all children, no matter what challenges they face, to be able to achieve well in early years, at school and post-16 and to fulfil their potential in adult life. I should point out to him that the SEN reforms that we introduced in 2014 are the biggest in a generation. I will reflect on the question that he has asked and I will certainly get back to him, but I do not want to make any commitments right now.
